Apologetics: A Justification of Christian Belief

Christian apologetics, the discipline of defending and commending the faith to those who question or reject it, has a long and complicated history, not all of which Frame regards favorably. In this landmark work, one of the most respected Reformed theologians of his generation provides a comprehensive account of what genuinely Christian apologetics looks like: its method, its message, and its relationship to Scripture, reason, and the lordship of Christ. Frame structures his approach around three modes of engagement: proof, defense, and offense. He examines the proper role of evidence and rational argument in Christian witness, addresses the relationship between faith and reason, and tackles two of the most challenging questions any apologist must face, probability arguments for God's existence and the problem of evil. Frame's treatment of both subjects is fresh, substantive, and carefully argued. Throughout, Frame's commitment to Scripture as the final authority shapes every discussion, and his extensive use of biblical texts gives the work a theological grounding that sets it apart from more philosophically oriented approaches. The book concludes with a model dialogue demonstrating how Frame's lines of argument operate in actual conversation. This expanded revision of Apologetics to the Glory of God is essential reading for anyone serious about defending the Christian faith.
